Open a new message window. If you have your settings on plain text, you will need to select Rich Text, then go to Format, Background, Picture.

This will bring up the Background Picture box again with the path to your background/picture in the window. Click OK

You're finished!! Your New Message should now have the background/picture you chose in the bottom window. Now, just choose your font, size and color by clicking the little black triangle next to each one, type your message and send.
